After a little insta hiatus,
today marks the end of 30 days straight of conditioning workouts courtesy of .tracey
1 mile of kettlebell farmers walk with 5 burpees each time they are put down.
After a tough Nov and Dec I’ve found my mojo again and am motivated as ever.

Client Testimonial…

I started working with Kris when I was overweight and had no idea what to do in the gym. Before working with Kris, I had no confidence to do any exercises other than the machines.

After starting PT sessions with him, and being shown how to train effectively, my body measurements started dropping, but more importantly, my confidence within the gym grew quickly. Kris not only trained me, but he also more importantly educated me, so I knew what I was doing and why.

Focussing on good form and building upon it, to ensure that not only did I get the results in terms of my body changing, but that it was done in a safe way to ensure that I stayed injury free and that the fitness I built was as effective as it could be.

This has translated into every day functional fitness. I can move and lift every day items which in the past would have been out of my capabilities.

After experiencing a car accident, Kris has further come in to his own, proving why a PT makes all the difference in recovery. I went from being capable and strong to weak and incapable overnight. This had a devastating impact on me mentally - to suddenly lose my strength destroyed my confidence in my body and led to my mental health suffering.

Kris has worked tirelessly to adjust my training so I could start to recover slowly and within my bodies limits while still making my training engaging to alleviate the frustration I experienced regularly during my recovery period. If an injury flared up, he adjusted my training around it. Now five months on from the accident, I am back stronger than ever before - a place I never dreamed I could get to when I was in my darkest places of hopelessness.

Walk the walk
Last weekend saw myself and compete in
Tough day at the office in rain and sunshine. We placed 7th overall and as good as that is, we are here to win so roll on next year.
Weaknesses identified and now the training begins to address those and return even fitter and stronger.
Big up to Anthony for shining the light for me when in a couple of very dark places.
Anyone interested in joining us next year for a fun competitive day get in touch.

So sad to not be training due to relocating down south.
We have been working together for over 6 years and she has gone from suffering badly with Scoliosis to being one of the most capable humans I know.
Some of her achievements have been a 105kg deadlift (over double bodyweight), completing Yorkshire 3 peaks in under 6 hrs! And smashing out ring muscle ups!
She’s also an accomplished baker and cook, the peanut butter blondes were sublime!
In these years she’s become a great friend too and I wish her all the luck in the world in her new adventures.
When you’re back this way Eleni the Air Bike will be waiting for you! ❤️

Over the moon to be able to provide this training space to my clients now that has been a long time in the making and building. Onwards and upwards now. Credit to for the amazing graffiti art of the Forge logo.
Now time to dig deep, work hard and push limits both mentally and physically
